Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Cher's Halfbreed

    I've never liked Cher, she's always bugged me in one way or another. One of the things that always annoyed me was how she never really acknowledged her Armenian roots, or her Native American ones for that matter, and anyone who IS Armenian and doesn't make their heritage an important part of their life rarely ranks very high in my books.

    However just today I stumbled across one of her songs which may or may not have been a big hit in the 70s (I never followed her music so I don't know if this was a hit single or just some bonus track one one of her albums). With a title like Half-Breed I was actually quite excited to hear the song. Here are the lyrics:

    My father married a pure Cherokee
    My mother's people were ashamed of me
    The indians said I was white by law
    The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"

    CHORUS:
    Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
    Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
    Half-breed, she's no good they warned
    Both sides were against me since the day I was born

    We never settled, went from town to town
    When you're not welcome you don't hang around
    The other children always laughed at me
    "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

    Repeat Chorus

    We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
    Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
    My life since then has been from man to man
    But it can't run away from what I am

    Repeat chorus


    So... like... anyone else see something wrong?

                  "how she never really acknowledged her Armenian roots, or her Native American ones for that matter" sounded more like fact than opinion to me. Either way, even "opinion" should be backed in some way by what's going on in reality otherwise it's just a delusion.

                  I was just curious to see where this negativity towards Cher was coming from as she is quite alright in "my book" You have to be pretty special to be able to be so famous for so long, especially in the artsy fartsy and "pop culture" categories in life.
